My Darling Mamma
You may be
thankful that you got over when
you did. If you could
see the weather we are
having now. The week you
left was the last of the
good weather - yesterday
& last night it blew a hurricane
The wind is still very high
but its fair & not raining
I wrote you a long letter yesterday
but the post gave David
two letters & did not come
himself & the evening was
too rough to send specially
to the post so I shall
mail them all today when
I am at church. D. [David?]
has no Sunday school today
on account of the communion
so he will be able to drive
me himself. I am very
well - sick stomach is all
gone & I only have indigestion
now & again. I missed you dreadfully
all day yesterday - & I dreamt
about you last night.
I got my new nightgowns
yesterday. Thet are beauties
great big wide ones & the
cloth is beautiful. They are
trimmed with silk embroidery
& are nicest I have
seen yet & only cost 6/-
apiece. I have just finished
my breakfast- nice codfish which
the old man couldn't eat. He has
such a fad for eggs now that he seems
quite injured if he is asked
to eat anything else. David wants my
pen to do his sermon so I must close
soon - There is no news since
yesteday ; but I write every day
to tell you how I am & how
much I miss you & think about
all day (sic). D says if the weather
does not improve he wont let me
go to church -
but he will post the
letters he sends
his love
Your loving little
girl
Arthe
